While the other friends/tenants have agreed to share responsibility, I'm concerned that once they're actually accountable, they may opt to drop the lease and, ideally, move out.

Looking forward to learning more about RE and soaking up some knowledge on here.Thanks for your input and responses,JesseHi Jesse, I moved to Columbus a few years ago (from Portland, Oregon which was super expensive) to become a full time real estate investor, and ever since, I've completed quite a lot of BRRRRs, flips, and own a successful rental portfolio here in Columbus Ohio.

they screen the tenant for income eligibility and require a physical inspection of the property before tenant moves in and on a yearly basis for renewals. 

Unlicensed contractor agreed to do work, then moved his family in and never did the agreed upon work.

Depending on the results,  I then decide to move forward with the property or look elsewhere. 

Don't cross those roles with each other.Keep investing and moving forward!

We don't want to move back to that area.Thanks again.

I used to reply, talk in DM about what we have, etc, but at this point I've given up.  95% of the people we'd talk to about leasing our properties so they could STR never moved forward (and most of those, we just never heard back from)So now when someone reaches out, we ask a few questions first. 

Someday will move back to it.

You guys should promote how to move with the times, I notice you stopped the cash flow only into understanding appreciation that's dandy and all but not the full picture.
